beyondevak's review against another edition
5.0
Initial Thoughts:
Wedding Night with the Earl was thoroughly sweet and extremely romantic. I loved it!
About the Characters:
Adam and Katherine were such appealing characters. They both had a genuineness and strength that made them immediately likable. I loved that they were playful and respectful with one another. They encouraged and supported each other, and they understood the struggle that was before them. They each had their own unique set of circumstances, however, they were able to help one another move past their challenges. Like magnets, these characters were drawn together time and time again. Their chemistry could not be denied. As a couple, I felt that they sparkled quite brilliantly.
Dixon and Pharaoh stole my heart. They were absolutely delightful. The funniest scene was the rabbit chase. I laughed at the cuteness of it all.
The Viscount was likable but boring. I did feel for him though. Perhaps he and one of the Wilted can get together and find their own love match.
Concluding Thoughts:
I cannot end my review without mentioning that wonderful ball. It was magical. The author did a masterful job with Adam's great show and profession of love. My gush-o-meter reading was off the charts. Bravo!

Men! *hits Adam over the head with an umbrella*
I get it, but still *hits him over the head again with a slightly broken umbrella*
Just one more for the road *hits him over the head with a broken umbrella*
Adam mourns his wife, who died in childbirth. I get it, and you have the right to mourn, and you have mourned. That was not the problem. The problem was his "I will never marry again cos my new wife will die too." Oh Adam, sweetie, no. That just makes me sad. He wants to go through life alone, I get it, you are scared, but then you meet the love of your life and you are willing to just let her go? See her marry someone else. Oh Adam.
Katherine, well she will not get an umbrella over the head. She is the niece of a Duke. She lost her family in a carriage accident (oh those carriages!). She has a limp, she can't dance. She has promised her uncle to marry within the year. She has a suitor she might accept. She meets a handsome Earl and is lost. And she does want him, but as you can see he had his issues. I do get why she would want to move on eventually and have all those kids she wants.
But this is a romance novel, we all know they will work it out...after a while. But before that there are stolen kisses. Sweet heartache and romance.
(I did feel sorry for the suitor, I hope he meets a nice girl, this one was so not for him. So now I do not feel sorry for you anymore. You will get the umbrella soon mister!)
A sweet story.

It seems I read it a year and a half ago, oops. But since this was audio I know I needed to listen to at least know the narrator. But then I started---and continued---and suddenly I had listened to it all. I did feel it impossible to stop. It was a different experience than reading, I understand that know. Even when I read my old review I understood I had to write a new one cos I had different feelings. Even if I did enjoy it both times.
Adam lost his wife and baby in childbirth, and now he is all I will never remarry! Poor guy. He is all tormented and missing her, and blaming himself.
Katherine lost her entire family in a carriage accident (the bane of those times). She walks with a cane and knows that this season she must find a match. And she does have a suitor, and I did like him. Even if he had faults. He was a man of those times. But I still think he too should find a good woman.
Anyway they meet, they fancy each other, but he is all woe is me! No other woman should die! So they flirt some more while he ponders that and then they live happily ever after.
A really cute romance.
Narrator Barrie Krainik
I do enjoy historical romance on audio. It works so splendidly! I love the proper tone of it and it just feels even more so when you are listening. I gasp in feigned shock and giggle at things. And Barrie does a good job of getting those feelings. I liked her voices and especially Katherine's was very pleasant.

I enjoyed the story. The hero and heroine were likable, almost immediately, and I enjoyed each time they were together. My only issue with the story came at the end. Their sudden profession of love, her refusal and his sudden change of heart happened too quickly for me, especially since it happened right at the end of the book. If more time had progressed through the story, instead of seeming like weeks, the ending may have been more plausible.
Still, this was an enjoyable read.

Nice conclusion to the series. I really enjoyed the OTP and the way they got together. I do think that the ending was a tiny bit rushed in the way the hero overcame his struggle, but other than that, the story was charming.

I truly enjoyed this book and series. This was a good way to end the series, although I do wish that there were more books as I loved these characters very much. It was good getting to see/hear about the main characters from the previous two books in the series and to see them enjoying their HEA. I really liked Katherine’s spirt and strength. I found both she and Adam relatable characters ands ones that I wanted to spend time with. Their romance was fun and the grand gesture, was perfect. Many of the side characters added to the story in positive ways, but there were a lot of side characters and at times it felt like to many.

Savršeno ♥
Kako sam prve dve knjige ove trilogije ocenila sa 4 zvezdice, ova je definitivno zaslužila 5. Mnogo bolja priča, radnja i glavna junakinja koja me oduševila. Savršen kraj trilogije, zaista će mi nedostajati svi likovi.

This was sweet. The name is a bit misleading. I expected a wedding much sooner. I liked the characters. Adam irritated me a bit with his attitude toward marriage considering his feelings toward Katharine. I liked how he treated her, though, considering how everyone else treated her. They were an adorable couple. Most of their issues were in their heads and based on lack of communication. An enjoyable historical romance read.

Adam never wanted to be an earl. Especially since he blamed himself for the deaths of his wife and child. But now he's Lord Greyhawke, guardian of his five-year-old heir apparent, and he's been commanded by the king to go to London and find a wife. He hasn't even bought the clothes that would distinguish him as a peer. But he schlepps himself and the heir (Dixon) to town and there he immediately puts his foot in his mouth at the first party he attends.
Katherine has never had this happen to her. Most of the ton knows she doesn't dance because of the two accidents that now cause her to walk with a cane. But the Earl, without even a proper introduction, is demanding that she dance with him.
And thus begins their courtship.
The language, not unusually for Ms. Grey, was a bit flowery for me. Plus Adam was pushy (but it was okay because he was a different kind of pushy from her family. Really?) and the ending was REALLY fast but overall a nice story.
